THE CftEftT DROUGHT, Paulett himself was shaken more ihau he knew, though he was as energetic as ever; but Charles was vigorous and advanced beyond his y ?vre, 'and took more than his share ia aiding and in comforting. They came at last to what hud been sea coast, and to that part of the road ?whichran along the face of the cliff overlooking the sea; and hero they paused upon the strange and wild ?rew before them. Where the sea had stretched al' glorious in motion, expanse and color, there was now a deep valley, the bottom of which was rough with rocks, black for the most part, but in places glitter ;ng with the white" salt from which the water had evaporated and which the winds had rolled together. Further out from the coast, where the sea had been deepest, there seemed tracks of sand; and far away over this newly exposed desert rose other hills, clearly seen through the unclouded atmosphere and which they knew to bc- rocks of France; if they should OJ ' ive there, what was the hope they offered? Scarce any-nothiug but moro pilgrimage. Further wandering, Pau? lett and Ellen sat apart whUe the children lay sleeping, side by side, for an hour or two, at this _ point of their journey, and talked over the desolation before them. "Yet," said Paulett, "the more terrible is the appearance which material things put on, the greater I feel the triumph, of tho spirit to bo. The worse it looks, tho more immor? tal I feel; and when a perishing world shows itself most perishable, I exult most that you and I, Ellen, have borne it so far." "Yes, I am glad too," said Ellen; .'your strength strengthens me. In the midst of this desolation the mind rises, for an hour at least, higher, perhaps, than it would have ever done if we had been prosperous." "Yet we might have used our pros ferit. tr? the same good end," said 'auk . i, "lt is not necessary to be miserable in order to be noble. Mil? lions have died before us-some in agony; some before tho struggle be? gan; some hardly; some at ease; they had all their chances; all hod their occasions of virtue, if they used them, and some used them, some failed; ours is not over yet; we have to struggle on still; and let us do it, dear Ellen, and be ready for the good day when we, too, may be allowed to die." Atid thus talking for a while, tiley rested themselves in the sight of the desert they had to traverse; then, with renewed strength and steadfast resolution, when the children woke, descended the cliffs, and prepared to trace a path through what had been the bottom of the sea. The first part of the journey was infinitely difficult; the rocks over which the foot of man had never passed; the abrupt preci? pices over which had flowed the even surface of the ocean, and then tho height to climb again, again to find themselves on ledges and shelves of rock; all these seemed, at times, hardly passable impediments. And when they got to a distance from what had been the shore, the unna? tural place "v here they found them F'dvea pressed upon the imagination. lhere was a plain of sand, about which, at irregular distances, rose rock-5, which,.."North and South, stretched out beyond the reach of the eye; and this saud, which had been at such a depth that'it never felt the influence of the ^ives, was covered, in places, with shells, tho inhabitants of which Lad perished when the wa? ters gradually died away. There lay, raised with these, somo skeletons of fi9hes; here a huge hcup, and there small bones, which looked less terri? ble; and masses of sea-weed, dried and colorless,- under which, as it Deemed, the creeping things of the ocean bad sheltered for a while, and come had' crawled to the surface when about to perish. But it was not only the brote creation which Lad died here; there was, in the middle, a p?e of rocks, on one side of which they cams suddenly to a pit, so deep and dark that they perceived n^ bottom; and here, probably, there had been sea-water longer than ebowhere, for there were human bose, aboutit, and tOfculls of men, and human garbs, which the sun had faded, bot which ."yera not disturbed by waves. There was a cord and a metal jar attached to it, for lowering into the pitt but Pau? let!, as ho looked at the attitudes of the IMSsani?gmkeletong. and observed how they seemed distorted in death, fancied that they mnst have brought np either poisoned water, or waters BO intensely salt as to drive them mad with the additional thirst; and that some had died on tho instant, some had lingered, some had sought to succor otb?rs, aud yielded, sooner or later, to the same influence. Ellen and he would not dwell on the sight after the first contemplation of it; they passed on, shuddering, and made toward the great wall of rock which they saw rising to the South, and which must be on their way to the land of France. But before they reached it, the sun began to decline; and without light it wa? in vain to attempt to seek a path. Thoro was a j wind, keener thau they bad felt of late, which came from the West, and the little Alice pressed on her father's bosom to shield her from it. He wrapped her clossr in a cloak, and they resolved to put themselves under the shelter of the first rock they reached, and pass the night in the channel of the sea. They pressed on, and farand, at last, the place they sought-a cliff which must once have raised its head above thc waves, aud which now stood like some vast pa? lace walls, bare and hnge, upon the ocean sand. Screened from the wind, they collected an abundance of the dried vegetation of tho sea, partly for warmth and to roast their corn, partly for Paulett to dissolve some of tho diamonds into water; and here they rested, here they slept, many fathoms below that lovel over which navies used to sail. At times during the night Paulett faucied, when the wind abated, that he heard a sound like thunder, or like what used to bo tho rushing of a distant torrent; aud oc ! casionally he thought ho felt a vibra? tion in tho earth, as if it were shaken by some moving body. Tho rogiou he was in was so strange that he knew not what might be hero or what about to happen; the sounds so imperfect that he tormented himself to be sure of them, or to bo sure they were not; and when the time for action came, he was beginning to disbelieve them altogether, but Alice brought ail back again by saying: "My rock," (for her cradle was a rock,) "shook my head, father." Tho child could explain herself no further; but the vibration he had faucied seemed to be what she had felt. And now they climbed again, and again descended, weary, rock after rock; it was a strange chaos, which the tides had swept and mould? ed, and which had, in places, risen to the surface and caused the wreck of many a vessel. Fragments of these lay under the rock they had split upon, but the wandering family had no thoughts for them; wonder and pity had been exhausted among ex? citing and terrific scenes. They thought only of forcing their way over the rocks; and feared to think how much of this they had to tra? verse beforo they should come to what had been the shoro and to towns. Suddenly, as they toiled forward, Paulett said in a low voice to Ellen, ?Don't you hear it?" "I have heard it a long time," said Ellen, in the same tone; aud Charles, as well as they, said, "Father, what is that?" "I can't tell, my boy," said Paulett. listening. "Water?" askod Ellen. Paulett shook his head, yet they all pressed forward, and there grew a thundering, sullen sound. There was a valley aud a ridge of rock before them, and they had to clam? ber first down tho rugged proc-ipict they wore upon, thou to cross the valley, and then to struggle up thc opposite side-a trembling motion growing perceptible as they ad? vanced-beforo they stood ou a sort of a broad ledge, which they per ceived at tho angles that jutted out went down straight iuto a depth, anti opposite which was another broad table land of rock, between whicl: and that they were upon was a rent, wider and narrower in tho varioui parts, and running along, as far a: they could see, to right and left Paulett rushed on to the briuk, ant stood looking. He put his hand on to keep Ellen back, when ho hear, her close behind; but sho alsosprauj to the edge, and when she had seeu turned to catch Charles in her arms Rushing past was a torrent, but uo water. It was dark, thick, pitchy; i sent up hot streams to the edge; i was one of the secrets of nature laid bare when the ocean wa taken away. Fire seemod to tx at work below, for occasionally i would boil with more violence, am rushed on with un increased, in <-reasing noise, then sullenly fall bael to the first gloomy sound. It bewilder ed the sense; and though it coull threaten no more than death, yet i was death with so many horror around it that the body aud miui both shrank ?rom it. How was i possible, too, to cross it? Yet thei way lay over it, for behind was cei tain destruction, and before it wa not yet proved impossible that the might find the element of watet Paulett felt that it would not do t huger on the brink; he drew hi family away from tho sight, and h himself went up aud down to fin some narrower place, and som means by which to make a bridg over the abyss; and it was not ti I ttxeix assistance could avail him thx lie returned Ipr them and brought them to the place ichera he hoped to get over. It waa a fearful point, for in order to reach ?. space narrow enough to hare a chance of- throwing a plank over, it was necessary to go down the broken aide ol the precipice some twenty feet, and there, high above tho seething lava, to cross on such a piece of wood as could be got to span the abyss, and then clamber up the ragged opposite side. Panlett had been down to the point he selected, and bad got timber, which a wrecked vessel had supplied, to the edge, so that Ellen and Charles might push a plank down to him, and he might try, at least, to cast it to the opposite bank. His head was steady, his hand strong. No one of them spoke ?word while he stood below, steadying himself to receive the plank. Ellen's weak arm grew powerful, her wit was ready with expedients to aid him in thi9 neces? sity; her frame and spirit were strung to the very uttermost, and she was brave and silent, -doing all that cOuld be done. No word was spoken till Pan lett said: "I have done it," and Ellen and Charles had seen him place the plank and secure it on his own side of the abyss with stones. Then they held their breath, beholding him cress it; but his firm foot carried him safely, nnd he heaped stones on thc other side also. He came over again, sprang up the side, and now smiled and spoke. "After all, it is but a mountain torrent, Ellen," he said, "and the water -would have destroyed us like yonder seething flood; yet, wo have crossed many ?? one and feared nothing. Now, Charles, shall go ! over; then Alice, and he shall take caro of her; and then my Ellen. The ground beyond is better; we shall get on well after this. " Ellen took the girl in her arms, and stood, uot trembling, not weeping, seeing and feeling every motion; all was safo that time, agaiu. Charles was on the opposite bank, and his father waved his hand to Ellen. He came hack for Alice, whom her mo? ther tied on his shoulders, for hands as well as feet were wanted to scram? ble down and up the banks. And now Ellen followed to the brink, and forgot, in watching her husband and child pass over, that the block tor? rent was seething beneath her eyes, j When they were quite safe, she felt again that it was there, and that her eyes were growing dizzy, and her hands involuntarily grasping about for support. She did not take time to feel more, but sprang upon the plank, and over it, and found Pau? letta hand seizing ber's, and drawing her up tho opposite bank. And once there, with all three round ker, she burst into tears-tears which had not overcome her through many miseries-and embracing them alternately, blessed them, that they were all so far safe. Paulett suffered this emotion to spend itself before he said that he must cross the plank again. To be more at liberty to assist them, he had left the diamonds on tho other side till they should be j over. Ellen offered no remonstrance. Tho times had so schooled them all that selfish or unreasonable thoughts either did not come at all, or were suppressed at once; and she did not oppose, even with a word, this neces? sary step. But tho renewal of fear after the excited energy had subsided ! did her more harm than all that had gone before; and she stood on the j brink exhausted, yet palpitating again while Panlett made the passage. He himself * .is wearied; but he had reached ?ie plan and was npon it on his Way back in safety, when one of those ebullitions which stirred tho dark fluid began running dowu the cleft rock, and with stunning noise | sent np dark and clouding vapor. I Paulett seemed suffocating-lie could i not be h card-he could just be seen- ! he reeled! Has ho fallen? Oh! he has fallen! No, no! he has got his footing again; he forces l^imself up thc bank; he is safe-but tho dia- I monds are in tho bottom of the pit. [ TO BE CONTINUED. 1 C. V. MELTON. R. W. SHAXD. S. W. 2IELTON.
